[CENTER]Overall Physical Description
Takeshi isn't a large, or imposing man. He is rather short compared to most men of Astrar and other Western nations; effeminate features like a soft face, limber limbs, and long dark tresses can all be deceptive when coming to terms with having to fight him. This has led to many an altercation as if not for the fact he has feminine features, he is also well armed and his armor shows the ugly face of many wars; gouges in steel, broken chain-links dangling from his worn leather gauntlets. He is a sight to behold for any who've yet to see what the peoples of Kageyoshi truly look like.
Yuuta's hair is as black as midnight, almost hinting towards the deep, dark bluish tinge of a raven's feathers when the sun's glimmers strike them. When not tied in the traditional way, his locks fall long and far, reaching his mid back. His eyes, narrow, almond-shaped but a pair of amber gems that rest in their sockets. They have a penetrating, and an unnerving gaze that fixates on the subtleties; things most wouldn't bother with noticing. His skin is fair, soft like cream and only his lips hold a tinge of red, like a blush; holding any real color aside from his eyes.
Yuuta is an anomaly to those who have seen him bare; several pronounced scars are deeply embedded in his flesh. Scars that suggests wounds that would otherwise kill or maim a normal man; two-pronged arrow puncture wounds dead center of where his heart should be with his heart still beating; an elongated sword stroke that appears to have been cut deeply stemmed from just under his right clavicle towards his left hip crossing his sternum that would most likely have sundered him. Another deep cut is along with his back, staring at his left shoulder blade and ending near his spine. The cut is deep; almost as if impalement were the first option, but the attacker changed his mind.
These are a few of the more severe wounds he's suffered along his centuries long lifespan--with undoubtedly, many still yet to come.

[CENTER]Overall Temperament
Overall, Yuuta isn't what you would expect from someone born into a warrior caste in a country that perpetually is filled with battles and the smell of death. He's kind, generous, sincere--and easily made bashful by a woman who actually strikes his fancy; that is to say, a strong woman who knows what she wants. He follows the tenets of Bushido religiously where as most knights either follow the creed of chivalry when it suits them or as a simple guideline to their own morality. This is not at all like the Samurai way, where every day is spent perfecting one's self; being better today than yesterday, and tomorrow better than today. He is a highly skilled, and disciplined warrior who despises needless violence.
Still, if violence should find its way to him, he is extraordinarily dangerous, unpredictable at times, and has an almost feral madness to his ruthless aggression. He won't stand by and watch innocents suffer, even if by right, at least in his home country he could cut them down for dishonoring his name and deeds--yet, he never has. For people who shirk their duties and disavow themselves of the responsibility for what they've done, however, he can be very cold and strict. Moreover, as a ronin, a masterless samurai he feels great shame; not in what he did to be banished from his clan, not even breaking the taboo of leaving his homeland of Kageyoshi--but because he has yet to find a master worthy enough to claim as his own. To lay his life down in servitude and give them everything he is.
Yuuta can be very logic-driven, and determined man. He's been taught, as early as 6 to push aside his emotions because that's when his training truly began. So it makes him stand-offish when he doesn't know if he should come to terms with just feeling the moment, or if he should cast it aside like he was taught and be inhibited and mistrustful of what might someone really want of him. This can make him rather cynical indeed. Nevertheless, if he were to find what little remains of his honor demands, he can be extremely loyal almost to the point of fanaticism. Though, history has taught to him that he mustn't serve blindly anymore and that if his next would-be ruler turns out like his last; oppressive, cruel, gluttonous and cowardly--blood will be spilled even if it must cost him his life.
